A Very Special 'Gilmore Girls' Guest Popped up at Luke's Diner

As if being able to visit Luke's Diner wasn't enough, Netflix busted out the big guns (and flannel) for "Gilmore Girls" fans today to celebrate the show's 16th anniversary: Scott Patterson.

The actor, who fans perhaps know better as his character Luke Dane, showed up in costume at one of the hundreds of Luke's Diner pop-ups that paid homage to the show. The lucky location was Beverly Hills' Comoncy Cafe, which drew a sizeable crowd for the Netflix-sponsored event. Patterson greeted fans, passed out free coffee, and -- best of all, at least for those of us only reading about it -- shared insight about the upcoming revival, "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life."

"All I can say is that Luke is Luke," Patterson said, according to Variety. "I think the reason why fans love him so much is because he doesn't change. He's kind of a rock that way, so fans are going to get more of that."

It turns out that wasn't quite all he could say, though; he also promised fans surprises.

"It's going to be something they really recognize, but there [are] going to be a lot of unexpected surprises for them," Patterson said. "Fans are going to be very surprised, and I think they're going to love it."

Netflix was kind enough to tweet a photo so those of us who missed out could experience the magic.
